In our
class we have an estimation jar. Once a
week, one of us brings the estimation jar home.
The person who takes home the estimation jar needs to fill it with
10-100 of the same objects. The jar
returns to school on Monday and everyday we estimate.

| OUR ESTIMATION JAR |
On Friday, we read out all of the estimations
and then we count the actual items in the jar.
If the jar has candy in it, then we all get a candy but it has to be in
a wrapper. If you have any ideas for us
to put in our jar we would love to hear from you.

What some
students say about this learning activity:
Mackenzie: “
I am learning how to count.”
Dakota: “We
learn math by guessing the number in the jar”
Robyn: “We
estimate the number in the jar and I am getting better at estimating.”
Tyah: “When
you put a number in the jar you guess a number and if you get near the number
like 5 numbers on each side of the number, then you have made a good
estimation.”
Kylee: “It
is fun when you estimate because you might get it right.”
Matthew: “You
are only allowed to guess once.”
Hope you
enjoyed reading about some of the math that we did on this INCREDIBLE day!
Awesome blog! Peridon and I enjoyed reading about the estimation jar! An idea would be to put those squiggly elastic bracelets in the jar.
